Question

What figure is a dilation of Figure A by a factor of 12 ?

Answer 1

Answer:

Choose the figure with side lengths 0.5, 1, 2 and 2.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Similar figures are figures which have the same shape but not the same size. This means their angle measures are equal but their side lengths are not instead they are proportional. They are related by a scale factor. To find the new side lengths of the figure multiply the original side lengths by 1/2.

The sides are 1, 2, 4, and 5.

They become:

1*1/2 = 0.5

2*1/2 = 1

4*1/2 = 2

5*1/2 = 2.5

Choose the figure with these distances.
